alright! The post didn't go through, but I have sucessfully passed my syntax exam. #Linguistics #english Onwards and upwards, I say. :)


Austronesian directions are trippy, producing the same words for different things.
"Timur/timog" means east in Malay, but in my language, Tagalog, it means south. In others, it means wind or rain. Turns out, they all have roots meaning southeast monsoon. It checks out because here at the north, those winds appear from the south while at the south, they would appear from the east.
What's weird is in Masbate, it means north. Wonder what happened there?

For teaching purposes, I am looking for a #linguistics or #SLA paper that was written in #RMarkdown or #Quarto and for which data and code are available in #OpenAccess. The simpler the analyses, the better. Looking forward to your suggestions! Self-promotions are explicitly welcome! #RStats


Does anyone know a super extensive dictionary from english to Hungarian? Like, probably without half the scanning PDF errors in the world, possibly? thank you! #Hungarian #Linguistics #Magyar

I am super excited about this mini-conference on #reproducibility in #linguistics that I am organising this evening: Four of my M.A. students will be reporting on their attempts to reproduce the results of four published quantitative linguistics papers for which the data is available, but not the code!

Colleagues, they have *a lot* of things to report! So, if you're in the area (Cologne), do come along! There will be #ReproducibiliTea and Christmas biscuits! 🍵 🍪 #OpenScience


This has been going around on Twitter, but I neglected my community here :) I'm sorry about this :)
Tomorrow at noon EST, I will give a #talk on the #accessibility of #language #learning and #linguistics in general for #screenReader users as part of the a11yTalks event. This will be a public event with no need to register so if this is something any of you are interested in, here's the link :) https://a11ytalks.com/posts/2023-MAY/ #speaker #a11y


JTG necesita a alguien que haga corpus analisis de estos dialectos (Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, y Caribe) para hacer glosarios y otros materiales. Yo he trabajado con ellos y pagan bien. https://jobs.jtg-inc.com/x/detail/a29egmnr0p0o #Linguistics #Jobs @linguistics #Corpus


I have opened recruitment for an online experiment investigating cross linguistic perceptions of iconicity!

Fascinating article!

I’m writing an article that expands my microblog entry on stylometric fingerprinting to give more comprehensive advice. I am partially walking back on my recommendation not to use machine translation and adding information about reading levels, among other things. Would anybody familiar with #, or with a # background experienced with close-reading, be up for reviewing a rough draft next week?

I’d also be interested in how people may describe my own stylometric fingerprint (signature phrases, grammar quirks, etc), to use as an example.

Boosts appreciated.
